Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* R. Fiore on In Love With Art. Taylor on Cartoonshow.

* some nice person employed by Ryerson University profiles Barbara Postema.

* I mentioned in my Billy Ireland that the academic conference that preceded the festival proper is the kind of place where you can pick up quality ideas and have the panels play off of one another; I'm not the only who does this, apparently, as Brian Cremins dug into another scholar's presentation for an idea on how to approach Grass Green.

* Maggie Thompson's sale of her collection once shared with her late husband Don Thompson brought in over $800K; I hope she gets to do something worthwhile with the money she gets out of that after all fees and taxes are paid and I'm sure this will be so.

* he was played on the TV show by Eddie Bracken.

* totally missed this piece on Mumbai lending libraries by Ryan Holmberg. Holmberg is doing really interesting work.

* Andrea Tsurumi writes about a particularly cool-sounding night at Ben Katchor's ongoing symposium.

* finally, this is very funny and so, I think, is this.
